Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the author's youthful spiritual crisis and intellectual journey through Unitarianism, skepticism, and religious doubt. Driven by a desire for distinction and a misunderstanding of divine intervention, the author briefly adhered to Christian teachings. However, plagued by skepticism, they sought solace in Unitarianism and the writings of Franklin, becoming a teacher and supporter of religious causes. Despite outward religious observance, the author struggled with inner turmoil and ultimately embraced a form of universalism, rejecting the doctrines of endless punishment and total depravity. The author's candid account sheds light on the complexities of religious experience, the dangers of intellectual arrogance, and the persistent search for spiritual meaning. Through the author's journey, the book offers insights into the nature of faith, the role of doubt, and the enduring human need for connection with the divine.

Contemporary ownership signature in pencil of Jeremy Bissell Esq. of Windsor, Connecticut. Biography, written by his youngest son, of the most important early expositor of Universalism in America. Ballou (1771-1852) is little-remembered outside of Universalist circles, perhaps because, unlike his cousin, contemporary, and fellow Universalist minister Adin Ballou, he rarely addressed political and social matters in his own writings or at the pulpit. Thus it is not surprising that this biography, written by his son, the prominent Boston journalist Maturin Ballou (a founding editor of the Boston Globe), does not address anything beyond Ballou's pastoral and doctrinal accomplishments. …
